The Mortal Realms just hit a massive milestone. We have officially spent ten years clashing armies, painting legends, and devouring lore.
Moreover, the Warhammer Design Studio has pumped out banger sculpts from the first Liberator to the Helsmiths of Hashut. Consequently, the community gets to crown a single champion sculpt. Finally, it is time to decide the greatest Age of Sigmar miniature ever.
A Decade of Icons to Celebrate
This Warhammer Community article kicks off a straight shot popularity duel for the ages. Previously, votes were bundled with Warhammer 40,000, which split attention. Now the spotlight sits squarely on Age of Sigmar’s finest heroes and monsters. Additionally, the team curated the shortlist by Grand Alliance and iconic status to keep things fair.
How the Vote Works
There are hundreds of minis, so curation mattered. The Studio tapped veteran designers to trim ten years of releases into a focused roster. Furthermore, the contest sticks to individual characters, not units, to keep comparisons clean. Therefore, your pick must be a single miniature that embodies its faction’s vibe.
Who Made the Cut
Fifty finalists are in the ring, covering every Grand Alliance. You will spot Archaon, Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse, towering over the pack. Additionally, Bastian Carthalos, the hulking Mega-Gargant, and Ushoran, Mortarch of Delusion, are ready for glory. However, Nagash is not eligible because his sculpt hails from the End Times. Moreover, unit darlings like Duinclaw are out since this vote is for solos only.
Notable Absences and Community Shout-Outs
Inevitably, some fan favorites missed the shortlist. The team even admits a few heartbreak cuts among their own picks. Nevertheless, absent legends like the Slann Starmaster, Lady of Vines, Deathbringer, and Kurdoss Valentian get a salute. Additionally, Warhammer Community invites you to shout out snubbed heroes on Instagram or Facebook. Maybe those tributes fuel a future “Miniature of the Century.”
How to Join In and Final Thoughts
Voting is open now through the Warhammer Community form linked in their post. Consequently, you can champion your faction’s crown jewel and stir some friendly inter-Grand Alliance trash talk. Moreover, this is a perfect excuse to revisit your shelves and remember why a sculpt hooked you. In short, ten years gave us an absurd run of minis, and picking one is deliciously painful.
